on track for your ENTER hopes?

[*Roxxii*]

Was hoping for 96, would have been happy with 93-94.
Now...i doubt i can even get 90
I don't really care about my enter anymore, there's not much difference between a 80 and 89 to me, either way, i cant get into melb or monash.
Stupid 4 digit number

[JL_91]

I'm particularly stressing about my Biology SS...my teacher has been wonderful this year and he has very high hopes of me hitting the high 40s...I wasn't thinking about that as I did my exams, but now they're done, I keep thinking about how I made some dumb mistakes which may really affect my chances of that dream score. I really don't want to let my teacher or myself down

[scumel]

haha well ive only done one exam!
and i dont have another one until next thursday....
so, i hope english was ok enough to keep me on track for media/comm at melb
but is there anyone out there who can possibly beat my timetable (in terms of it being so bad!) ??

[JL_91]

^ Bad timetable, in what sense?

My total exam timetable was/is November 3, 5 and 13, plus a small rather insignificant UMEP one (30 multi choice in 1 hour) on Nov 20. So I'm considering myself a free person as of November 13

[scumel]

in the sense that my chinese oral was 6th oct, french oral 20th oct, eng 31st oct
12 day break!
then pol and revs within an hour of each other on the 13th nov
french 19th nov
chinese 20th nov
:S
verrryyyy spread out

[JL_91]

Oh golly gosh...pol and revs within an hour of each other sure is tough! I have revs too, but that will be my final one. And wow you do 2 LOTEs 0_____0 I'm passionate about foreign languages, but my speaking skills are terrible compared to my writing, so I didn't do any for VCE. In hindsight I would have done Latin though...no oral, I love it, massive scaling!

[scumel]

tell me about it! is that not the most stupid vcaa timetabling ever??
shame that u didnt do any LOTEs if u have a passion for them...yeh esp latin haha, all u have to do is rock up to the exam and you'll get 50!

Wed - Further 2
Thurs - Accounting
Fri - Methods 2
Mon - Methods 2
Tues - Specialist 2
Thurs 20th Nov Chinese 3:00pm- 5:15pm

I pretty much have an exam every single day from the day we had english (with 2 on one day)
Including a week with 5 exams.
And i don't get to finish until the LAST vce exam on the last day
Its spread out cos it goes from 10th Oct to 20th Nov, but WAYYY too clumped together inbetween
not to mention i have 10 exams in total hahaa

Does my timetable beat yours?

[scumel]

ouch
yeh i think you come in at the other end of the scale: overloaded.
you must be exhausted atm!
but then heaps of time to study for chinese so thats ok
still, i have a 12 day break and then two humanities subjects on the one day...
but what can you do?
how are u feeling for chinese? new format and all that?

Haha precisely...best scaling in the VCE system! Well, my school offers German and Chinese. I'd been doing French since primary school, but I would have been forced to do it through distance ed if I wanted to keep it for VCE. I'm teaching myself German at the moment, but I only picked it up in 2004 and found the 3 genders and all the cases exceptionally difficult to deal with, so it was a big no-no for my VCE. And Chinese - well I'm a native Cantonese speaker whose family is from Hong Kong, so I speak Mandarin really badly, and with a terrible Cantonese accent...which the Chinese assessors would no doubt have absolutely HATED. I would have only been classified as a SL student though, since I was born in Canada and only did kindergarten/preschool in HK.

Yeah I find it stupid too, because many people who do pol would be doing revs too >< all those humanities subs. Lol I love humanities...there's less of a problem with difficult vs. easy exams, as compared to the maths/sciences.

Yeah unfortunately there's nothing i can do about it.
At least i'm now at the end of my busiest week.
I was falling asleep when i was studying today lol.
And yeah...i have lotssssss of time for chinese...a bit too much haha.
I'll always be wondering if i would have performed better on my exams if they were a bit more spread out, giving me a rest inbetween and some extra time to study (cram ) lol

But uhhhh...chinese...new format?? 
Please explain.....

[scumel]

just how there is the new translation section this year

[*Roxxii*]

i didn't know about that...lol
 Might read up on it once i'm done with all my other exams then

[scumel]

no stresses its fairly straightforward
and means that there is less marks towards the listening
but yeh...you have the time!

mmm true...but then there are heaps of arguments for the humanities vs. maths/sci debate.
u do revs yeh?
how u feeling for it? which revs are u doing?
